New York's Leading Public Research Universities on the Forefront of Education and Innovation

New York’s leading public research universities are on the forefront of education and scientific innovation.


Only sixty-five years young, Stony Brook University is recognized as one of the nation’s top research universities, serving as a powerful engine for economic development, technological innovation and clinical care. SBU is not only transforming lives by revolutionizing cancer prognosis and advancing life-saving technologies for cardiac patients but also by offering a world-class education to students from all socio-economic backgrounds, providing them unmatched social and economic mobility.

The University at Buffalo was recognized as a research powerhouse back in 1989, when it became the first public university in New York invited to join the AAU, and its impact has only grown over the years. From developing new ways to treat memory loss in Alzheimer’s to pioneering minimally invasive surgical techniques, UB is making discoveries that lead to longer, healthier lives.

New research from the University at Buffalo offers insights into the strategies that help students from underrepresented groups succeed academically and in their careers.
A new species of long-necked herbivorous dinosaur, Musankwa sanyatiensis, has been discovered in Zimbabwe.
A viral gene therapy developed by University at Buffalo researchers has reversed some brain abnormalities in infant mice with FOXG1 syndrome.
A study led by StonyBrook links climate change since the 1990s to intensifying toxic algal blooms in Lake Erie. Led by Christopher Gobler, it shows warming has made the lake more conducive to these blooms, posing health risks.
A new study led by Stony Brook University researchers that evaluates more than 5,000 WTC responders indicates that those who had more exposures to WTC-related toxins have dementia at a higher rate than other responders with fewer WTC-related toxic exposures.
